groupstage = 4 matches for each clan
KO with 4 going through in each group = 3 more matches
ur system with 3 advancing would mean 2 more groups of 3 or 1 big group of 6
after the groups of 3 semis would mean 4 matches, final would mean 3 more matches (which would be the same as KO with 8 teams)
big group of 6 would be 5 more matches.
so either way ur system would never make the cup any shorter than the original system
you are absolutly right, BUT where on earth did I mention to make the cup shorter? =D
I was more like thinking that going straight into semi's would might make it too short, could be wrong tho since you gotta play 4 matches first.
I'd say the group phase is sort of a warm-up anyway lol.
Ideally having 10 teams would be better yea but going straight into semis is kinda gay still i think.
And you still have something to fight for, the one who gets most points in the group phase gets an easier way to finals really.
Cant deny my agreement here.
But letting 4 clans PER Group through is also a bit too much. So'd let 3 clans PER group too.
6 over > re schedule it into 2 groups of 3 > 2 PER GROUP goes through Semis > final
